Can you give me some safety tips?

To make your riding enjoyable and safe here are some tips to follow that you should follow:
• Wear bright or reflective clothing. Wear a helmet, even if it's not required by law. Be sure the helmet is DOT approved. 
• Don't ride in another motorist's "blind spot."
• Over speeding is a factor in many accidents. Obey the speed limits and never travel faster than your skill level or than the conditions allow.
• Signal well before you make a turn or lane change. Your size and maneuverability can surprise other motorists. Consider using hand signals in addition to your electric turn signals.
• Don't let other motorists surprise you. Use extra caution at intersections, parking lot entrances and exits, and driveways.
• Keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the floorboards while riding.
